DaGirls Rv Travels

Where has the time flown. It seem just a few days ago, We were traveling and I was writing about our trips. Then nothing, I mean nothing, no words, no thoughts, its' like I lost interest in writing and telling stories.

Well, it's time to pick up the pen, well in this cast the keyboard and see what prints out.

Nov. was a fun time, people, good food, easy. Plenty of tine, space and meeting room.

Sara Park Rodeo Grounds is always a good rally site. No hook-ups, but showers, toilets, Meeting room, large enough for 200 people. Hiking trails, beach down-town and plenty of good food and company.

Susan, flew back to St. Charles to see the new family.

In Jan 2025, we went to the FMCA (FMCA is now Family RV Association) Rally in Indio. I egged on Linda & Jeff, along with Rudy and Beate, to tag along with us. Susan and I volunteer to help out, and ended up with the table and chairs setup. Hard work, but totally dis-organized. To many people telling everyone what to do (We have Always done it this way attitude) and setting up for 1000 people when you only have at most 200 at a time.

Also, chapters saying we have always done it this way attitude.

Mike K. you have your work cut out for you.

Then it was onto Quartzsite, Az for a great rally with Tony, Sally, Deb, Dee and Rex. Amazing time was had by all. Along with the great food.

Prior to leaving Indio (FMCA) we got a good deal on new set of shoes for Gus, you see we were going on 9 years with the current set. During our walks, we talked to Jim, of Pete's Road Service. Jim, was able to sell QTy. 6, Toyo M170 Load H for $3250. Better price then what you would get in Oregon. People always tell us go to Oregon, NO SALES TAX. Well our tires are Load Range H, and there's are Load range G.

Feb was a busy month for me, as I attended Fire-arms training with the Yuma County Sheriffs Office (YCSO). I am now qualified to carry while on duty. The class required 4 days at 10 hrs long, with day and night-time qualifications shooting. Then only to find out, Qualification is on the Calendar year. What does that mean? I have to requal in March again.

Dakota has passed the 14 years old mark, and Tilly is 15. Both are doing well, but we know it is only a matter of time.

Dakota loves being back in Show Low, as she loves the cool air and being outside all day. She enjoys going on her walk-a-about. Not as far, but she gets in the walking and smelling mode and heads off.

Tilly now has her own Jeff Jail.

Wrapping up Yuma was easy and quick, Susan worked on Puzzles, make a new style of mirror covers.

New Style Roadrunner can point in or away. Cost for 2 $60

Prior to leaving for Show Low, I worked the Yuma County Fair, went on patrol, helped Skip with washer/dryer installation. Susan, was quieter this year. Very little going to garage sells, this was due to No Linda V. you see they sold there lot and purchase a place in Bandera, Tx.

Her foot is getting better and now she is working on here other foot.

We left Yuma and Headed North-East to Show Low. What a drive. Let me tell you, we experience, a hot engine traveling up to Show Low. Working on the cause, hope to have ID the issue.

We had a unexpected Snow Storm April 18, we receiver 4 to 6 inches of snow, while our uphill neighbor (Kelly) had only 2 inches. We are only 100 yards apart.

Maybe in the future, any chances of snow, bring the slide in.

Ok, let's wrap this up, a few more photos:
